With her bum.

Compare this post, and guess which Daddy prefers.

Blurb

Published Wednesday, May 28, 2008 by Jim Cromwell.

Rosie has really taken her half term project to heart, having written pages of illustrated facts. Now she's done a cover, but that's not the end of things.

"I need to do a 'blurb'. Because books have the title on the cover and the 'blurb' on the back."

Apropos of nothing

Watching Hider In The House today, Holly made the following observation to Daddy:

"He isn't at all like you. He's got hair."

Humour...

Holly was conducting Rosie and Daddy's singing, but there had to be an interlude.

Holly: "Right, stop. I think I need to go and do a poo." (Exit stage left, clutching buttocks together.)

Easy questions

Published by Jim Cromwell.

Holly came into Mummy and Daddy's bedrom this morning at six o'clock.

Mummy: "It's very early, darling. What is it?"
Holly: "Oh... Can I just ask a question?"
Mummy: "Yes. Go on..."
Holly: "How do you do doggy paddle?"

Rosie: "These are the words that can describe me. Fantastic... Brilliant... Good... Well done..."

History

Published Monday, May 05, 2008 by Jim Cromwell.

Holly has a bib from when she was a baby with "Holly" in American Sign Language on it. She plans to take it to school tomorrow because "it is geography AND history."

Daddy: "How's that?"
Holly: "Because it is from America. So that is to do with geography. And it is history because I have had it from when I was a baby."

Oops...

Holly climbed into Mummy and Daddy's bed this morning. Daddy started tickling Holly quite mercilessly. It's good to do that because Holly laughs like Sid James and thrashes about like mad.

Except this morning she broke Mummy's nose...
